I will graciously take your position on this *only* when we get to the
point in our culture when we can dig up our OWN northern European
ancestors in graveyards throughout America, test their bodies
for toxins, then instead of reburying the bodies afterward,
put them in a museum as reference material for future toxicity
studies. I mean, after all, they ARE scientific store-houses of
information...aren't they?
I see nothing wrong with studying the specimen before returning it
to a grave. I see nothing wrong with returning it.

not to open their mouths any more, hmmm? <sarcasm OFF>
